    Been using Sysinternals utilities since Windows 98! Here's a tip. As you noted some utilities require Admin level security. Others, notably Autoruns, may not require or ask for Admin level security when run, but to perform an operation - like Jump To (Registry) Entry in Autoruns - require Admin level to operate. Rather than having to Right Click on the app and select Run As Administrator, right click on the file (app) and select Properties, select the Compatibility tab and at the bottom click the [Change Settings for All Users] button. In the window that pops up, check the "Run this program as an Administrator" box and click OK/OK. Now you'll still get asked if you want to give the app permission to run (always), but you won't have to right click and select the Run As Admin any more!

    SysInternals author Mark Russinovich is one of the true major contributors to the software world, along with other greats like Peter Norton, Phil Katz RIP, Nick Bradbury etc. I used SI for 15-20 years from well before Microsoft acquired it and Mark-the utilities are top class and rock solid.
    I don't use them anymore, as Windows today is far ahead of where it was in the 90s and 00s. But ZoomIt does look interesting :)

      way back then, I rescued several XT type machines by running Spinrite, the machines were running slowly and the users were going to get rid of them but I run Spinrite on them overnight and tell them to reboot, and all those bad sectors were returned to the system by a low level format of each block.
      In those days the heads didn’t park and turning off the PC might write random crap at that location. After years the hard disk would have lots of bad sectors.

      @@connclissmann6514 Dan Briklin and VisiCalc co-author Bob Frankston rarely get a mention these days, but they created what was probably the first desktop ‘killer application’; the reason many people bought PCs in those days. I was lucky enough to be able to teach myself VisiCalc on a TRS-80 when I was a young teenager in the UK (early 80s), and it set me up for a successful life in the ‘computer business’. I encourage visiting Dan’s website (it’s easy to find); there’s a great history of VisiCalc there.

    Thanks for the information! PSExec and Process Explorer are two that I use often. PowerToys is also one of my go-to utilities and it's still available today. I still have my 1996 Sony PCV-70 166 MHz Pentium. It came with Windows 95a. I asked the Circuit City salesperson about the single USB port, and she said that it was new technology that is not yet enabled. Upgrading to Windows 95b enabled it and I added a ZIP drive. I think Windows 2000 was the last OS running on it. I skipped Windows ME (that was a terrible OS)

    Process Explorer helped me to solve a little mystery with my application at a customer computer. It requires a couple of dll's that usually are registered in GAC. Despite all needed dll's were there (I mean particular versions), application was still throwing exception. Process Explorer was actually my last resort help. What I found thanks to it, was that system provided an old dll version to the application because someone had copied an old version one of dll's into c:\windows\system32 which should never be there. Even correct dll version existed in my application folder and in GAC, the old one was being called.
